Glass Vases: The Foundation of Your Wedding Decor

Glass vases are a versatile choice for displaying fresh or artificial flowers, candles and decorative arrangements at weddings, events, businesses and around the home. Our collection includes glass vases, ceramic vases, bud vases, cylinder vases, hurricane vases and decorative vases in a range of styles and sizes. Fill your vases with fresh or artificial flowers, artificial greenery or decorative branches. You can also add floating candles, water pearls, acrylic ice or fairy lights to create wedding centrepieces, dining table displays, shelf styling and decorative arrangements for the home.

 

Choosing the Right Vase

The best vase depends on what you plan to display. Bud vases suit single flower stems and smaller floral arrangements, while cylinder vases are commonly used for larger bouquets, floating candles and submerged floral displays. Tall Eiffel Tower vases create dramatic floral centrepieces, while bottle vases and posy vases suit more natural, garden-inspired styling. Ceramic vases add colour and texture, while hurricane vases are popular for protecting candles and creating decorative centrepieces.

Ideas for Decorating with Vases

Vases can be used throughout your wedding, event or home, not just on guest tables. They are commonly placed on ceremony signing tables, reception tables, welcome displays, gift tables, venue entrances, dining tables, coffee tables, kitchen benches and console tables. Mixing different vase heights, shapes and materials helps create more natural-looking floral arrangements and decorative displays.

Complete your styling with artificial flowers, artificial greenery, candles, fairy lights, water pearls, acrylic ice or decorative fillers to create displays that suit your wedding theme, event styling or home décor.

Fresh Flowers or Artificial Flowers?

Most of our glass and ceramic vases are suitable for both fresh and artificial flowers. Fresh flowers create a traditional floral display, while artificial flowers can be prepared well before your event and enjoyed long afterwards. Decorative greenery, branches, dried flowers and seasonal stems can also be used to create long-lasting arrangements for weddings, businesses and the home.
